Just wondering, why do you need a 5 speed? It doesn't make your car go any faster, you know. Or for that matter, any less likely to expire when abused. :-X Title: Re:I need a....... Post by: JetJumper on August 28, 2002, 07:13:51 pm 5SPD = lower Reving...(Dad's Idea) :P

Title: Re:I need a....... Post by: FieroBUZZ on August 29, 2002, 07:44:26 am I have a 4 speed in my parter if you want to trade.
Your final drive 4:10 My final drive 3:65 Result lower reving......also less acceleration, but that's about what a 5 speed is as well. The top gear is an overdrive, just not quite as much as the 5 spd. Title: Re:I need a....... Post by: FieroDough on August 29, 2002, 08:15:54 am Get a 5spd froma junkyard for $150.00 or so. ANY isuzu of a 2.5L from 80's early 90's will work. :)
Getrag = Wallet gets raped. Isuzu = weaker tranny, better gearing, dime a dozen. Works for me! :) BTW: Use car-parts.com :P Cheers! Eric Title: Re:I need a....... Post by: FieroBUZZ on August 29, 2002, 08:58:05 am Don't forget that you'll need the stuff from the shifter to the tranny (cables, shift plate, etc) and I think that the clutch will be different as well.
Hehe! Title: Re:I need a....... Post by: FieroDough on August 29, 2002, 09:51:18 am oh ya! forgot about that. :P
you need the shifter of a 5spd fiero. (any 5spd. ) you need the shift and select cables.. or do you?? is the 4spd compatible to the 5 spd issuzu? I know the getrag needs special cables, but issuzu ? Oh yes! the connectors are different! :( Call som recycling places near by.. I know there is one in Gatineau ro near there that has a few Fieros. (called the guy a while back) You will also need the %$@# issuzu brackets. :o had a fun time finding those without a tranny bolted to it. if you have the cash to forward, do like me. :P ordered a clutch kit for a 2.5L fiero 5spd and a clutch kit for a 2.8L getrag (87 fiero 5spd), (same price) take the issuzu bearing from the 2.5 kit and take the clutch and pressure plate from the 2.8L kit. then return the other kit to Canadian tire. :) Now you have the bigger clutch that fits nice in the issuzu. Not sure the 2.5L will make any use of it, but hey, better for same price. :) will reduce clutch heat. :) What else.. axles are the same.. but get axle seal! only like $20.00 but worth it! humm... 5spd sticker on your shift console.. some backup light wiering (easy to do)... what else.. thinking... Speed sensor is the same, use the gear on the sendor of the issuzu.. oh,. and a 4.9L caddy engine. cheers! ;D Eric |
